This job... really, whether it's sneaking into office buildings or residential communities, handing out business cards to people, the cost isn't high, but you have to run around all day, exposed to the wind and sun.

The base monthly salary is barely a thousand, which is very common these days.

Emily Foster said frankly, "I'm about to go broke. Those who used to ask me to take photos as a model were all up to no good, offering me high prices..."

"If it weren't for Anna and Samantha taking care of me, I wouldn't be able to pay next month's rent."

Everyone who knows the modeling circle without any protection knows how messy it can get.

Eric Bennett smiled and said, "Alright, if you help me hand out business cards, just go to the office buildings. I'll pay you fifty yuan a day, paid daily."

Emily Foster was overjoyed, "Really?"

Eric Bennett nodded, "It's not like I'm giving you any special treatment. You're so pretty, the business cards you hand out leave a much deeper impression on people."

The beauty effect in business, the beauty economy, has always existed since ancient times. Especially among the white-collar workers in office buildings, it's hard to say how well business computers sell, but if you can break into the home computer market for office workers, that's even faster money than selling to students. And it's not even back-to-school season yet!

"Try handing them out for a few days first. If the results are good, I'll give you extra commission. How much commission depends on the situation."

"Before, Brian Carter helped me bring in business. He knows a lot of rich second-generation kids. Just one internet café deal can bring in ten or twenty thousand in profit. I split it fifty-fifty with Brian Carter, and we've been running around for over a week now."

"But with regular classmates, a single deal might only earn 20 or 50 yuan, so it's not worth splitting."

"If you can land an office building, a company with dozens of office computers, I could make several thousand yuan, so I'll give you at least thirty percent."

He kept talking while cooking. Emily Foster was so excited listening that even Anna came over, "Is it really that profitable? You're making me want to try it too."

Anna's looks are a notch or two below Emily Foster, but in an ordinary school, she'd still be a campus beauty, and her figure is even better.

Eric Bennett smiled, "Anna, if you don't mind running around and getting tanned, you can try it with Emily. She's a girl, and I worry about her getting taken advantage of."

"It's safer for the two of you to go together."

Anna said happily, "Is it also fifty yuan a day for me, with commission?"

Eric Bennett nodded, "Yes, the same."

Anna nodded eagerly, "It's settled then. Odd jobs are unstable anyway. When there's nothing to do, I'll play less games and treat running around like shopping."

"And with a boss like you cooking for us, eating good food, at most just washing the pots and cleaning up after, this job is pretty good."

Eric Bennett chuckled, "As long as you two don't mind the hard work."

Running around handing out business cards in the wind and sun, possibly being stopped or chased away by building security, and only earning a 50 yuan base salary a day—compared to Samantha Smith, who sleeps until the afternoon every day, plays some games, gets ready after dinner, walks two or three hours of fashion shows, has a few drinks, and earns two hundred or more...

Different lives, different choices.

The three of them had a nice breakfast. When Anna and Emily Foster went to clean up the dishes afterward, there was a knock at the door.

Eric Bennett went to open it and saw Brian Carter and Lauren Harris standing outside. Brian Carter started complaining right away, "The internet café business is gradually stabilizing, so it's not as busy anymore."

"I asked Jason Carter before if their office computers needed replacing... damn, Jason Carter told me to apply and make an appointment with the relevant person myself, didn't even give me a chance."

"Kids are really hard to deal with... huh, Mr. Bennett, you have people at your place? Since when?"

Eric Bennett was speechless for a long moment. Brian Carter's ambition really knows no bounds, aiming straight for the planning bureau's office computers? Those are usually the territory of big international brands; domestic brands only get in with special connections.

"I just hired two employees, also neighbors from our community. Forget about the government office computers, it's more effective to target office buildings."

"Our assembled desktops mostly still use those big old monitors, not flat screens, mainly targeting the low-end home market."

When Brian Carter got a good look at the busy Emily Foster and Anna, he immediately gave Eric Bennett a mischievous grin, "Not bad, man..."

Brian Carter's personal taste might be different from the mainstream, but even he had to admit, Anna was no worse than Lauren Harris, not to mention Emily Foster, who totally outshone Lauren Harris in looks and youthful energy.

But he and Lauren Harris had that kind of toxic, love-at-first-sight thing going on, so even the rich and beautiful Megan who always fawned over him was dumped without a second thought.

At this moment, besides being amazed, Brian Carter really had no other thoughts. He just felt that his original plan to set up Eric Bennett with Emily Thompson... probably wasn't going to work out.

He even felt a bit emotional—Eric Bennett is hiring employees now? Becoming a boss?

Well, after all, the internet café's 200 machines were set up in less than half a month, his buddies in the compound settle up without delay, and each split ten thousand yuan. That's ten thousand in half a month—so what's wrong with hiring two employees?!

Chapter 9: Do you think he'll chase after her?

At the beginning of August, the heat in Beijing was unbearable.

In weather over 30 degrees, Eric Bennett and Emily Foster walked out of a residential compound, laughing as they went. "Even though you've only worked eight days this month, the chances of installing or repairing computers are pretty high."

"As we agreed, eight days is a 400 yuan base salary, and for the money earned from installing or repairing computers, I'll give you thirty percent."
